The Lagos State University (LASU) has removed the Dean of Student Affairs, Prof. Tajudeen Olumoko, following allegations of certificate racketeering.
The
allegations follow a report on Monday claiming that a syndicate was selling
genuine LASU certificates for between N2m and N3m.
In
response to the allegations, the university has appointed a senior lecturer in
the Department of Political Science, Dr Abiodun Fatai-Abatan, as acting DSA.
The
removal has been confirmed by a source at the university. “Yes, it is true,
Olumoko has been removed, and Abatan has taken over as DSA. This happened
yesterday (Tuesday),” the source said.
However,
the university’s Coordinator for Information and Public Relations, Oluwayemisi
Thomas-Onashile, has denied any knowledge of the removal, stating, “I can’t say
if he has been removed or not. I am not yet in the office. So, I don’t know
anything yet.”
The
Lagos State House of Assembly had on Tuesday said it will invite the
Commissioner for Tertiary Education, Mr. Tolani Akibu, the Vice-Chancellor of
LASU, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, the Senate of the tertiary institution and
other top staff over the allegations of extortion and certificate racketeering
levelled against the school.
